Scaffolding is like riding a bike Grafter once you have mastered it you never forget how to do it, but dont get complacent you are learning all the time
5 years is not long in this game but a lot of lads think they know everything about the job after such a short time, that is until they come across something out of the ordinary then its fu ck me what am i going to do here or to save face lets jack and get another job [seen that done countless times]
Keep at it mate its a great job for those who can stick it out

I agree with both Fred and Gen.

You dont ever truly forget, you might 'misplace' certain little tricks and ways of doing things but you wont forget how to Scaffold.

This day an Age I would,nt worry about forgetting stuff as A scaffolder is no longer expected to think for himself look at a job and erect scaffold to suit the application. You are now given lots of pictures, paperwork, supervisor, chargehand more certificates, hoists, cranes, more PPE more drawings , more training , cherry pickers but never a tinnie or a bacon butty
Might just be me grafter but I think you do forget things you have learned over the years, see the top or bottom thread or the size of a sole pad.:embarrest:
For me, the easy answer is don't be afraid to ask especially on here, if you try and blag it you will last 5 minutes.
